Treutlera

Treutlera is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae (also known as Umbelliferae), the celery or carrot family. These plants are native to Asia, specifically found in regions such as the Himalayas, including parts of India, Nepal, and Bhutan, as well as into southwestern China.

Treutlera species are typically herbaceous perennials. They are characterized by their compound leaves and umbels of small white or yellowish flowers, typical of the Apiaceae family. The fruit is a schizocarp, splitting into two mericarps.

Currently, accepted species within the Treutlera genus include:

• Treutlera edgeworthii (DC.) Hiroe
• Treutlera pinetorum (Kurz) H.Wolff

The genus Treutlera is named in honor of botanist Leo Treutler.
